Hi all. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help me?
I am finding it incredibly difficult to just switch my mind off and keep having constant thoughts on the same subject matter.
My thoughts are a bit odd - I keep obsessing about using the toilet, or the possibility that I might get the urge to use the toilet suddenly if I am out and about. I had a bit of a panic attack in town last week and had to run to the loo for a pee, but nothing really came out. Since then I have had difficulty in concentrating on anything because of all these thoughts about using the toilet!
It is driving me mad, and I am unable to relax or take in anything else that might be said to me, or read a book or watch TV. I am also pretty scared to leave the house (even to go to the shop on the corner about 200 yards away) because I am scared that I may need to pee suddenly. I went into town on Monday again and spent almost my entire time walking about thinking "Do I need the toilet yet?" and it is seriously doing my head in.
I am on Mirtazapine for my depression, and this needing to pee alot has only really been highly evident since I have been taking these tablets. These thoughts are making me even more depressed than I was already....God knows what will happen when the food in my house runs out!
Any help would be appreciated on how to switch my mind off (without the use of alcohol or drugs!) and be able to chill out.
